The first condition of the progress of society is thnt its various classes should become responsible to each other, and it is evident that oflutc both outward events and the cut-t-cntuf mural feeling huvc tended to enforce a l‘(‘L'i>;!lllll()n of those recipro- cnl relation: lmtwccri the rich und pour, the ctlucati-d and ignnr-tint, and even the viz-tttous and proiiigutc, the discovery of which adds the claims nf rm enlightened self-inter-cent to those of pbilnntln-r-p_v. Had there been no such institutions as Young Men’: Associations, Strangers’ Friend So- cietins, City Missions, and Rugged Schools, we should, in the present state of our knowledge, have been compelled to ori- ginute other ugencies, and sell-protection would have taken the form of practical bcnevol , VVere the latch of the cottage r lilled by the hand ofchority, were the dark und noisome alleys and courts of our towns shunned by '1.-very man whose health or purse might be lost in such places, Government itself would be obliged to send forth its inspector and establish model lod- ging-liouses, hospitals, and schools. \Vcre there visitation of no other kind, Cholera alone would compel ll house, to house Visi- tation by the ollict-rs ofthc sanitary Board. On the some principle, Government demands that by some means the people shall be educated; and if religious bodies, with or without its aid, pruve ufter fair trial incont- pctent to effect this, then, vr-rily, the cr- culan arm ofthe secular power will set to work in curncst, and snuieiv.-iy the business will he done. See by how int-my parties the Government is invoked to come to their deliverance. The women and child- ren in our factories, the tltousruuls who are compelled by employers or by competition to labour for seven days in the veek, the tens of thousands more who are kept in unwholesomc shops from before sunrise till nour upon midnight, and the starving fami- lies who are the prey provided for those cits of vice and death. the spirit shops, which Me the rzltntnc and ruin trfnur coun- try, all uppeal, some with clmnnrbus, sonic with mute .-upplicntion, tn the liund of power: Eripe nos his, invicle malls. When public opinion has addressed itself for a certain length of lime to private cupi- dity in vain, when charity has pleaded long and received a linnl repulse, then, in some mysterious way, there comes a revolution- or‘ Providcntinl cnlightcnmcnt, which slmws to the conviction of society at large that some particular nuisance, moral or physi- cal, must be put down. For a time private interest may oppose, and form a success- ful league; but its arguments, cltnrncter, and workin,v__v lwcome more and more odious as the contest proceeds : all good men were against it front the beginning, and all who are not lost to u some of slmnic desert it in the end. Then the system fails prostrate and ruined for ever. Such accntest is commencing now in this country. The same battle has l)er'lI fought and won by the people themselves, in many of the United States, and in one of our own American Colonies. The nuisance to be ndupted is the sale of intoxicating drinks—the temptation presented by every twentieth house, in some of our streets, to the labouring man to spend his monr-y for that which is not bread. Those are the places which create a famine in n. million families after the most plcnteous scuson, and swallow up the rownrd of labor; which are not less relentless in their exactions during times when food is door and employ- ment barrl to be obtained; which point the fang of hunger with poison, and set vice opposite to misery beside the extinguished hearth. These places arc the council- chnmbers and normal-scliools of crime, where old and young, the hardened and the weak, the tcmpter an the victim, unite in the fellowship ofsin. They are the feeders of our gnuls, wurltlmnses, and lunatic usylums; they people whole streets with felons and prostitutes, and whole colo- nies with convicts- By them the mother- country hus been brought to the brink of scpurntion from her dependencies. ~'.l‘hcy have raised onc ofthc most (liflicult ques- tions of the present time--\\'hul are we to do with our convicts? How strange that the answer has so seldom occurred,-Lassen their number, by cutting off the ordinary incentive to crime. Another pro.-sing. ques- tion is not less involved,—-that of critica- tion; for whut grout hopes can be enter- tained, so long as for every school there are n score of tovcrns. _ is it infatuation to preach a crusade nghiiist these pest-houses, which proclaim every one ofour cities to be I city ofthc plague; or is it not rntlrcr by some infu- tuation that we have tolerated them so ion 7 At any rate, Boston and other lur etovms of America prove that a city , wit tout a drum-sho is not tbs mere dream of aincderu Utopia. But some will soy, "Anthem then to be no hotels for the strairger end tr-svoller,ar-o as for re- tfrsshlnont. in the tows to be up, and no vvsysldelsas tob: tolerated in tho county.’ ?i@i.._»£l Q4, l~“'54. ..a.-s And are we also to be tee-totallers at home. tuous’ without a universal ‘ cakes and tile’ Think too uft‘tc farrncrs and their b:ll'le_V; oftlic Cniu\'cm.Lon ofthe Excimqutztr nnrl Malt 'I‘nxl" Put the proposition is not so stringent us such nhjoi-lions would imply. Private tl\Vt'llllI_t_{rt worn not the subject of legisla- tion iu the ;‘vluine Law. Houses ofrctresh- nient would still he found open by the tra- vcller, and by the homeless city clerk. It is only roposed to make their comforts universnly accessible on other terms than the expenditure of money in alcohol and beer. Ardent spirits would still be procnrnble by those who really needed them, ( :1 num- ber much smaller-than is commonly thought,) but not from persons who hud it direct interest in their adultet-ution and their immodcratc use. It must be admitted that there would be less mailing and 'istillutinn; which is us much as to say, that in less qunnlily offond would be turned into poison, that tho cultivntirm of other cereals and crops would par-tiully displace that of burl:-y, and that we should be less depcndenton foreign countries for corn, which would be chcnpnnerl in some pl‘nput'tlun tn the saving of what is now expended no distillation. in short the price lobe paid for the object advocated, is not enormous, or itself culi- rcly without any set-off or compensation. Then there remains all the moral und social compensation. VVithin the some your in which the Maine Law was carrii-ii, the prisons ofthat State were treat-ly emp- tied, the l)lll'(lCl) of poor-rates und p(tliCt:- rnlcs was lightcncrl, the people Wlln bud themselves carried the law become at mice sober and orderly, no tumult, no single exhibition ofrlrunkcnncss appeared in the streets, and very soon the tr-nfliclrcrs in alcohol inuutl other employment both for their capital and their labor. The contest, we say. is now commencing in earnest, and with some probabilities, certainly with ample precedents of success, such as it never had before. In the American Republic, the exntnple nf .‘~'lnim=. has been all-curly ntloptr-d by Vermont, .‘-lassnchusretts, Rhode Island, and the new States of Micltignn, lowa, at Minnesota, while others ofthc elder mem- bers ofthe Union nre expected to finllow. hat is more interesting, our-own Sove- eign has already given her royal assent to u “ Maine Luw” passed by the Legislature of New Bi-ttnsnviclr. That it will eventually be triumphant here, -15 elsewhere, them is more reason for hope than doubt‘ But that there will be formidable diliicultics, thot it may be long before Government can be persuaded to deal with so gigantic an evil, which pays, us vice is ever rcndy to pay, so immense a bribe for impunity, must be admitted. So long as every twent- icth house in our streets is u gin-shop or a tnvorn, so long will Government never want on inducement to protect the system on the nine side, ‘nor the men who have resolved to destroy it on argument on the other. ‘No need not say that we trust the latter will carry on their proposed reformation with wisdom as well as with energy. e ob- ject is to ubate it proved and public nuisance, to put down that which is itself :1 national crime, and the source ofinnumerable other crimes, miseries, and calamities. Thcir principlc is indisputttble—salua populi summa let. The chief difliculties are that those who are now praying u on the vitals of the social system must be induced to get their living by more honest means; and that Government must cease to give them protection upon the terms of receiving it share in the plunder. In former movements professedly lending to the some ullimnto object, there have been extravngnnces, and we think even errors of principle, which have kept many good men aloof. But only by some extraordinary niismunngctnent crtnlbe some difiioultics be imported into the rest-nt question. The principle is perfectly clear, and there needs be no infringe.-mcnt ofprivote libcrt or dictation to private conscience in its It vocncy. A t_. H =- COTTON CLEANING.

Tho .\r-.n lsloml und tho Upland are very difierent. 'l‘lic Upltmtl cotton is shorter in the staple than the Sea Island, but there are some very fine kind: of it. The inixiog of the difl"ercnt staples: Iu produces good yarn. requires great practice and skill, and in respect to its cultivation. no plant has recrivcrl greater attention.
